Recent Camelbak garrenty replacement

As I pulled into Tucson three weeks ago my 3 litre Camelbak bladder sprung a leak. I had used it for two years. I emailed Camelbak and told them of the leak, they said to mail it back and they would replce it. I recieved two new 3 litre bags back within a week. I emailed them back and told them they had sent me two and they said to keep both. Nice deal,huh? Guess two people got my email and sent off a new bladder each.

I like the new bags with the bite valve turned like pictured above. And now I have two!

nice to hear they stand behind their product. i have three bags of various sizes and ages. other than a few bite valve failures, which i attribute to my kids treating them like pieces of chewing gum, and one user error (thought the hose was properly plugged in on one of the new bags with the easily-removable hose - it wasn't), none have leaked yet.

that 90 degree elbow for the bite valve should have a yellow switch to shut the flow off. i have them on each camelbak in our house now. it's a very useful thing - once we're done hiking, we shut them off. means that if you accidentally squash the valve under your pack in the trunk of your car, your home, your tent, whatever, you won't experience the puddle that i sometimes have.

Sometimes its hard to fill using my Katadyn water filter, hard to hold up while I fill it.

Hey Gary, have you seen the Quick-link adapters for your drinking tube and the fill tube on your filter? It allows you to connect the water filter directly to the drinking hose and fill it up with no leaking, even with the reservoir in your pack. It is SO much easier than trying to hold all of it together and upright, WHILE pumping the filter.
